Say the Words

I need to hear you say the words
Silence simply will not do
Don't make me read your lips
Let me hear your voice
Spare not the sound
Of beauty
and of
love


I need to hear you say the words
Your beauty is before me
Yet, still, I crave your voice
A look and a thought
Is not enough
Let me hear
You say
It


I need to hear your say the words
I know your heart and your touch
Like fire under my skin
Yet nothing compares
To hearing you
Say the words
I love
you
